The Night Shift

mid quality indy
A mid quality independent film worth watching if you like this sort of thing. It's comedy and meant to be so. It's also a horror action flick. The Skeleton gave me the best laugh I've had in quite a while. It has a decent and interesting plot and sub plot. The acting is good enough from the main characters to not be annoying. There's some quality issues with blurryness and bad sound in a few spots but overall its fine. It's kinda longer than it needs to be but its entertaining enough when there's nothing else to do.

Surprising
I rented this movie from Amazon and was pleasantly surprised. In a way 'The Night Shift' reminded me of the 1996 Michael J. Fox film, 'The Frighteners.' It's basically a supernatural comedy set in a graveyard populated by various undead creatures. The pacing of the movie could be better; at a little over two hours in some parts, it does drag a little. However, this slow boil gives the film a chance to develop its lead characters and, in this respect, I think the writers and performers did a fine job. There are a couple of moments where the audio/video quality get a bit fuzzy, but these are fairly minor and don't detract from the film experience.
Overall, though, I thought 'The Night Shift' was a fun flick.

I tried to give it a shot
I have respect for low - no budget filmmakers but I just couldn't make it longer than 15 minutes through the movie the foley is bad and the acting is worse it just takes me out of the films universe. This could of been good but it couldn't keep me interested and at 2 hours and 7 minutes that's too long for a romantic horror comedy.
